The climbing paths don't pose a problem in the standalone toolkit. (BTW, I've found a workaround to that problem. See my XEP post.)
However, I found today that the full URLs *do* also fail in the standalone toolkit. So that's a DITA issue; not XXE. -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 2:02 AM To: Mark Fletcher Cc: xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com Subject: Re: [XXE] Problem running DITA conversion with climbing or full URL in topicref @href Mark Fletcher wrote: > > Unfortunately I'm having some problems when trying to convert a map to > PDF.

Otherwise, please report this kind of problem to the DITA Open Toolkit mailing lists.
